		<description>[...] i personally can&#8217;t understand how such a hilarious commercial can be pulled from the air and have caused so much controversy.Â  It&#8217;s too bad all this nipple-gate, don imus, and CBS&#8217; censorship issues are spilling over to Canada - the jays ad was banned by the Television Bureau of Canada  &#8220;Clearly we have taken ourselves entirely too seriously if we have given a pillow fight this much attention,&#8221; Lindsay said Thursday. &#8220;The reaction we&#8217;re getting from the fans is that people can&#8217;t even believe this is an issue. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and the Bureau&#8217;s role is they feel that somehow a child is being put in harm&#8217;s way and they need to step in and make sure it&#8217;s clarified. That&#8217;s their prerogative.&#8221; [...]</description>

		<description>Didn&#039;t read the book, but even the snake Dickie Morris says the same thing. Multiple sources confirm the &quot;pleasentness&#039; of Hillary. The link above should work. The $$$ signs courtesy of expired Vueprint. Libertarian candidate over the Liberal NYers Hillary and Rudy.</description>

		<description>Rudi...

Hahahahahaha, I saw it.  Thanks!!!

God, I do think she may be the most calculating figure to ever run for the Presidency.

I remember reading a history of Nixon that argued one reason Nixon was so successful in his dealings with Maoist China and the Soviet Union, was that Nixon thought like a highly paranoid, obsessive Communist apparatchik.  Thus,  Nixon and Mao were no so far apart in their thought processes.

Hillary seems much like Nixon.  Everything feeding into her calculator.  And you know she has an Enemies List!  :)</description>

		<description>Comrade Rudi said:  &lt;blockquote&gt;A younger black pundit or journalist, on cable yesterday, attacked them om this point. He didnâ€™t compsre them in a favorable light and asked what they have really did in comparison to Malcom X and MLK.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

Rudi...that is very interesting.  One wonders at how they are seen in the US Black community at large.

Once again, I wonder where you find the time to keep up all of these things on the Net and the Media.  Thanks for the image attempt.  

&lt;blockquote&gt;I just canâ€™t vote for this woman, she is more calculating than Bill.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

Have you read Stepanopolous&#039; book on his years in the Clinton White House?  Hillary comes off as not only calculating, but even stark raving nuts...with paranoid obsessions about the world that would impress even Nixon.</description>

		<description>A very, very good point, from a very smart guy with some perspective, speaking from the platform of (hide the kidzzz) FoxNews!:

&lt;blockquote&gt;JUAN WILLIAMS: But, my sense of what you have here is was that the market spoke. [Y]ou know itâ€™s interesting, you look at the guy who runs â€” Ken Chenault, who runs American Express, they pulled their ads, Ken Chenault is black. I think there are a lot of people, in American corporate positions, wouldnâ€™t have been there a generation ago, who now have some say, have voice over people like Imus. And I think Imus just didnâ€™t anticipate that.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

More J. Williams,  W. Williams, Cosby, Steele, Sowell, Elder, Crouch, PLEASE.</description>

		<description>Well, I hope CBS Radio is proud in making the announcement of Don Imus&#039; firing yesterday.  Today is second and final day of the 18th Annual WFAN Radiothon benefiting the CJ Foundation for SIDS, the Tomorrow&#039;s Children Fund, and the Imus Ranch for kids with cancer.  Over the past 18 years, CBS affiliate 66AM WFAN has raised millions of dollars for these charities.  Don Imus was at the forefront of this effort.
 
If is unfair to seperate the good from the bad of any individual.  Al Sharpton has made huge strides for the black community.  He was presidential candidate.  To associate his name with a single unfortunate incident woul be a great disservice to him and his life long accomplishments.

All I ask is that Don Imus be given equal consideration.</description>

		<description>This is falling into such a predictable pattern.  First, the uproar over the crusty old white man that made the offensive remark.  So he&#039;s gone.  Fair enough.

Now, it&#039;s time to have a &quot;conversation&quot; about racsm.  I&#039;m a white guy and I don&#039;t have any problem with what happened to Imus, but frankly, I don&#039;t want to have a conversation about race with the likes of Al Sharpton.  Sharpton and many others, including Jesse Jackson, are out a job if there isn&#039;t inflammatory racial confrontation.  I&#039;m not interested.</description>

		<description>The knock on Sharpton and &quot;Hymie&quot; Jackson is not about what they say, is that they are oportunists looking for a controversy. Their schtick has made them powerful and wealthy. A younger black pundit or journalist, on cable yesterday, attacked them om this point. He didn&#039;t compsre them in a favorable light and asked what they have really did in comparison to Malcom X and MLK. What they are doing is similar to many US Generals who hawk the GWOT and the military suppliers in prints and on air without revealing that they are consultants or serve in the bord of General Dynamics or GE.</description>

		<description>I also wonder what this portends for the future.  It all depends on the &#039;American people&#039; that every politician and advertiser aims to please, but the &#039;Amrican people&#039;
are crazy, as far as I can tell.

I still haven&#039;t recovered from the Janet Jackson flap.. Women have breasts!
Hide your children!  Just ignore the gang warfare on our streets.

Whatever the response will be, I don&#039;t expect it to be a rational one.  It will just continue to see-saw from one lunacy to another.</description>

		<description>â€œFreedomâ€? of speech does not mean â€œfreedomâ€? from criticism You can say what you want but if any group  is offended they will weigh in on your comments. The bottom line is that this is a commercial enterprise and the advertisers will exercise their â€œfreedomâ€? to chooses what programs they will sponsor. My feeling Imus will not be off the airways for long, some radio stations and advertisers will pick him up he does have a following and that still means people to advertise to.</description>
